FileWriteN currently doesn't perform replacements to a unicode-escape style strings (\x-escaping for non-ANSI characters) which results in "file not found" errors when a user moves the portable app directory to a path that has non-ANSI characters.

Hi @JohnTHaller
The splash screen of Firefox and Thunderbird is small:

We'll soon be packaging and releasing OpenJDK Portable now that it's available as 32-bit and 64-bit packages. Support will be added to the [Activate]Java=find section for this. The 32-bit variant will be installed to PortableApps\CommonFiles\OpenJDK. The JRE is then contained in a jre directory and the EXEs and DLLs within bin for a full relative path of PortableApps\CommonFiles\OpenJDK\jre\bin

As discussed on the "Chrome Portable command line length limit" thread, there are some "Special Builds" of NSIS released along with the default build which allow for things the default build can't do. In particular, interest was expressed in using the "Large Strings" build for Google Chrome Portable so that users could pass a larger number of Chrome's parameters to it without NSIS truncating the execution string.

I have an implementation which I intend to submit for review before it gets into the main code base, but first I would like to have a few questions answered:

• What version number are we intending to release next? 2.2.2 or 3.0?
• Should both of the "Special Builds" be included? or should we skip the "Advanced Logging" build and only include the "Large Strings" build?
• What should the build(s) be called?
  I'm leaning toward "LargeStrings" and "AdvancedLogging" as these match what they're called on NSIS' Special Builds page

Note: I've put the questions in a task list so I can check each one off when I feel we have a satisfactory answer for it. Once they're all checked off, I'll upload my implementation.

DotNet handling currently supports up to 4.0

4.5+ handling is needed.
I am working on a fix.

PAL (released) currently bundles a customized copy of NSIS 2.46.5, including only the necessary plugins for PAL to work. PAL (in the repo) currently bundles the full NSIS 3.02 package. This package needs to be trimmed down to only the required plugins.

Documentation is currently written for Sphinx.
Explore converting to Markdown or pure HTML for simpler handling on Windows.

PAL's Qt support still only includes support for Trolltech in the registry.

I have an implementation fixing this, but won't be able to upload it until tomorrow.

Hi, I need the Photoshop format of the PortableApps splash screen.
Like this Splash.zip
Thanks.

Hi, please fix SystemWideEnvironmentVariables.
%PortableApps.comPictures%="H:\Documents\Pictures"
"\\" -> "\"

Thanks.

Wouldn't it be great to have large icons / entries in the list? (Windows 10-Like)
